Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to improve their defensive options with the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham.
A report from Football London claims that Tottenham are ‘expected to launch a bid’ for the 25-year-old central defender this week.
The player is in the final year of his contract with Fulham and he is likely to be sold this month. The London club will not want to lose him on a free transfer next year.
The report adds that Tottenham have a ‘strong interest’ in the defender who is wanted by clubs including Monaco.
Apparently, the defender is keen on a move to the north London club if there is an offer on the table and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can secure an agreement with Fulham.
Tottenham conceded 63 goals in the league last season and they will have to sort out the defensive unit if they want to get back into the champions league.
Adarabioyo has proven his quality in the Premier League and he is likely to hit the ground running. He wouldn’t need an adaptation period and he could make an instant impact.
The 25-year-old is likely to partner Cristian Romero at the heart of Tottenham’s defence next season.
Meanwhile, the London club are also looking at Edmond Tapsoba and Micky van de Ven.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham end up signing more than just one central defender before the summer transfer window closes.
